2014 - iceland desk calendar

I finally got the first of the 2014 calendars in the shop!

i call him carlos santana

No, this isn't my horse. I just have a terrible habit of naming other people's animals. Carlos is a beautiful deep chocolate with one very blue eye, the other brown. There is no connection to the other Carlos Santana, it was just what came to mind.

Yes, I know I am a little strange, but at least it is fun for me.

be brave

I watched a friend skydive this weekend for the first time. I have never wanted to skydive before but after watching him I wish I was brave enough. Considering I was much more nervous than him I would say I have a long way to go before I put on a jumpsuit! But maybe someday.

pickled asparagus

My attempt at pickling asparagus is certainly going to be a failure. After they came out of the water bath they were a sickly color. (photos were taken pre water bath) Kind of that seventies pea green color. Definitely not appetizing.
